FEEDBACK EXAMPLES

Feedback examples for teamwork and collaboration

Teamwork feedback should name who was affected. When people can see the effect of their behaviour on a colleague, the feedback lands.

Constructive feedback examples

WORKING ALONE TOO LONGYou spent two days on the data problem before mentioning it. [Colleague] had solved the same thing last month. Next time, can you ask the team after a couple of hours?
POOR HANDOVERWhen you handed over [project], the client contact and open issues were missing, and [colleague] lost a day finding them. Could you use the handover checklist next time?
NOT SUPPORTING A DECISIONAfter we agreed the new process, you told the team you thought it would fail. I want you to raise disagreement with me before we decide, and then back the decision in front of the team.

HELPING A COLLEAGUEYou spent an afternoon helping [colleague] with the new system last week. They told me it is the reason they hit their deadline. Thank you.
SHARING CREDITIn the review meeting you named everyone who worked on the launch. People noticed, and it matters more than you might think.
WORKING ACROSS TEAMSSetting up that call with the finance team unblocked the budget in a day. That kind of bridge-building is exactly what this project needed.

Name the colleague or team affected.
Recognise the unglamorous help that never shows up in metrics.
Use a simple shape: what happened, the effect it had, and what you would like next time.
